Memorable Psychiatry

Grateful to the author, a UCLA medical doctor (psychiatrist) who can explain DSM5 in a simpler but accurate way. This book is an excellent reference and has mini videos in YouTube.

I wrote this same review for his psychopharm book because it applies to this one as well.I am a PMHNP student and I discovered Dr. Heldt’s Memorable Psychiatry videos when first studying for exams. I loved the videos so much that I felt compelled to get the psychiatry and psychopharm books. I LOVE them. His teaching style is so effortless and clear. It’s not necessarily a replacement for your course textbooks , but it makes the material much more tangible and palatable. And frankly, it’s not just his way of explaining concepts - he does so in a way that conveys a passion for psychiatry. His videos and the books makes me even more excited for my future career as a clinician.

Was debating on buying this book bc some of the comments said the disorders were disorganized in the book and I’m soooo glad I didn’t listen & bought this book! I’m in PMHNP school & this is a must have !!! Breaks down all the important info & explains everything so well I don’t even have to use my actual school books.

As an PHNP student this book I mean bible is key! NO buyer remorse here!

The book is extensive yet reads like a novel . The language is very easy. It is extremely evidence based and very honestly mentions what works and what hardly works in treatment . It dispelled myths.The young author is unbelievably competent and seems both an internist and neurologists in addition to being a practical clinical psychiatrist . Although the book has over 484 pages , it is easy and the best book on psychiatry for general practitioners .The author obviously spent a lot of time working on this book . It is a masterpiece !!!

Great. Easy to understand!

As mentioned by others, this is a well written book BUT, cannot believe there’s no index. Dr. Heldt might consider an ‘on-line’ supplement adding an index.

I’m a PMHNP student and this book helped me understand all of the psych disorders soo much better. It’s my bible!
